Samui Carvings

Hand-carved leather art from Koh Samui

The craft

Choawalit learned leather carving from his grandfather at the age of 13. Each piece is cut from buffalo or cow leather, and each one is unique. He draws the motif, punches the outline, cuts the detail with a very sharp knife, then colours it by hand.

Elephants, Ramayana scenes, yin-yang fish, Thai musicians.
